An anti-lockdown government worker who shared a picture of former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian with a Hitler moustache has been awarded compensation over her sacking. The NSW Industrial Relations Commission determined child protection worker Vanessa ...

In disputing her dismissal, she referenced statements from United Australia Party leader Craig Kelly about the legality of such orders. Due to a confluence of factors, including the birth of her daughter in mid-2020, the onset of post-natal depression, and the financial difficulties the family found itself in, Mr Murphy found the dismissal had been harsh and ordered Ms Lichi be compensated 12 weeks’ pay. Wake the fk up Australia!” “As a consequence, the applicant had to return to work earlier than she had hoped from maternity leave, to reduce some of the financial burden on the family,” Mr Murphy said. Of the other image, Ms Lichi said she meant no disrespect to her colleagues and she was not referring to child protection officers. Ms Lichi said she didn’t create the meme of Ms Berejiklian, and, in posting it, wasn’t referring to the NSW premier specifically, but “to my experiences and interpretation of what is happening in a personal way”.

A government worker will be compensated with 12 weeks' pay after she was sacked for attending an anti-lockdown rally and posting a photo of former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian with a Hitler moustache, a tribunal has ordered.

“Ms Berejiklian’s face was juxtaposed next to an actual image of Adolf Hitler’s face. I was respectful towards police.” Wake the f**k up Australia!’.” “I have not been charged with any offence and I have not attended any court appearances in relation to a serious offence. “For the avoidance of doubt, I did not attend the rally to represent the department and I didn’t tell anyone at the rally that I was employed by DCJ and I did not speak to anyone other than my partner. She said she went to the rally to voice her “concerns and fears regarding the Australian government, the premier and ministers’, continued fear campaigns and threats in relation to forced COVID-19 vaccinations against the Australian people” as well as her “fears of the government’s harsh imposed lockdowns and restriction, which has significant impacts on small businesses, the livelihood and mental health of the Australian people”.
